A little late, but have a Happy New Year!<br /><br />I often wonder about animals in the snow - I know many of them are well equipped to survive cold, but I still feel sorry for them. I'd love to know what's going through their heads; I think its likely robin is hoping for grubs too - they're so opportunistic. I heard a tale of a robin in a graveyard (seen at a funeral this winter) that hopped over the freshly dug earth from the grave for worms - a sad, but oddly poignant and beautiful image. I do love animals - your cat looks like quite a determined critter :)<br /><br />Stay warm!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-41543603460725974732010-01-10T11:38:43.449+00:002010-01-10T11:38:43.449+00:00Sorry for my lack of visits, due to a few health p...Sorry for my lack of visits, due to a few health problems.<br />Like you I live out in the 'sticks' and have always kept a well stocked cupboard, so have needed surprisingly little.

It was the biggest ever, but half an hour later when I looked again, there was a huge crater - there had been a massive air bubble just under the crust! Less planet, more moon!
